Euro Pane Bakery (Pasadena, CA)

Recently I've been into good bread (doesn't even need to be "artisan") and so me and Emily decided to continue our fooding adventures at Euro Pane, a popular bakery that serves giant macarons. When we arrived it was already a bit late, so we decided on the Europane French Dip (9.25) and the Croque Monsieur. I typically like a good croque monsieur, and this one was with bechamel sauce and cheese, which sounded interesting. The bread for the sandwich was really delicious, but the texture of the cheese, bechamel sauce, and meat together wasn't that great, and the combination was too salty for me!

The french dip was also a bit salty, but the baguette was really delicious! The meat was a bit dry without the dip, but the dip made the sandwich even saltier, so we had to do without. We concluded that the bread from Euro Pane is a must, but we might pass on their sandwiches. The cinnamon roll was also delicious, but not the best one that I've had. Too flaky and too little cinnamon! I would definitely go back for their bread, and maybe their salad, since lots of people dining there were having salads. I also didn't get a chance to try their macarons...

I am Chipotle Monster, Hammy Tammy, Burger Fiend, a lean mean eating machine who loves food, learning, creating, and trying new things. I have a B.S. in Nutritional Science from The University of California Berkeley, a consequence of love for food and biology. I've been moving to a different country every few years for the last decade or so, and I've had the privilege of not only sampling, but actually discovering the uniqueness of some of the cities I've lived in. My no-fluff "scathing reviews" (I prefer honest) of some of the worst and best fooding destinations is really an open diary of me orienting myself in cities around the world.

If you are wondering what Edesian Feast means, the name comes from the Roman goddess of food. With her name associated with luxury and feasting, Edesia is the divine spirit believed to be the one who blesses banquets. As food was and is of utmost importance in Roman culture, it is also very much so in Taiwanese culture. If you've ever met anyone from Taiwan, you know that they're always thinking about what to eat for their next meal...

I'm a coffeefish with a love for steak, sashimi, tacos, key lime pie, and sticky rice cake, but I'll try almost anything once. This is a space to drool and feast your eyes upon delicious pictures and share the best fooding experiences around the world, so don't hesitate to drop me a recommendation and follow my adventures!
